Very impressed with my logo hot stamp

Hi folks,A few weeks back I contacted a businessman in Hong kong who makes hot stamps for leather and wood product. I used my excel program to design my logo and e-mailed it to him. Yesterday, I got the stamp and tried it on and all I can say it turned out AMAZING!I will show some picture of it on various wood tomorrow. The whole thing plus shipping was less than $70. Here is the logo I sent him:

Here is ””Sam’s””: samaz1t83@hotmail.com e-mail addy if you are interested:

Kaleb,It is 5 centimeter by 3 centimeter. I think it will cover most of my bowls; it will be too big for rolling pins and such.

Frosty, It is earthartandfoods as the logo indicates. I left the center blank because I want to stamp the date the product was made.

Thanks waho… He normally asks for pictures but the excel deal worked out as the original was 7 X 5. So, all I had to do was to reduce the size. The picture above is the original picture I took of my screen. He then asked for the excel file.

The first on was done on cherry. I kept the iron too long (about 5 seconds) and it got to dark for my liking.

Held it little bit less on walnut and it looked better:

It came out perfect with about 3 seconds on oak:

Just want to disclose that I have absolutely no affiliation directly or indirectly with this business. Just happy costumer spreading the word knowing a lot of folks have shown interest in branding irons in past discussions.

Thanks Muzzy and Michael. What is curious is that the $300 place take the same amount of time to get you your branding iron. However, mine was made in 2 days and the other two weeks time was travel time. Is it possible that some of these places are nothing but middle men?? Just thinking out loud.

I bought a stock logo from him for my work. He was buried in work, and took a long time, so he sold me the electric, (normally $125), for $80. It is a nice unit, heavy, has held up well the last two years I’ve been using it.
